In a stunning turn of events, and a day after telling an Illinois Beat Writer than he was heading to Champaign to play for the Fighting Illini, WR Jeff Thomas is coming back to/staying with the University of Miami!
This is a stunning reversal, kind of like the ones Thomas made when returning punts in 2017. After being dismissed/leaving the team in November, Thomas decided to look around and settled on Illinois for his next destination. Thomas reportedly signed a non-biding grant-in-aid agreement, but that obviously didn’t mean he had to leave.
